It didn't surprise me.
Bad Alias:
I don't recall anybody here, or elsewhere, expressing their surprise. But my point was that it was totally in keeping with his character to stand up to her.
What did surprise me was Marcone's hesitance to protect children, at virtually no cost to himself, during BG. While I think that might have been our first clue of Namshiel's influence, I could argue both sides of that one.
vincentric:
I think his hesitance was more because Harry was the one prodding him. If those people had been escorted in by anyone else, he'd have let them right in.

that doesn't vibe with earlier books, Harry's always the one prodding him to do the right thing. I'm sure he'll be the one prodding him back from the gates of hell later too...

Harry always prods Marcone to do the right thing and usually the smart thing for Marcone's interests. Marcone always reacts with obstinance while thinking it through or pretending he hasn't already considered all the options and ramifications. It's part of his mob boss persona to do it that way so he always appears in control. He probably does it with everyone but just enjoys it more with Harry.
